Thor Steinar "Brevik" tribute store in Germany

Thor Steinar, the favoured brand of hardline right wingers in Germany, has opened a shop in north London called the Viking Thor Shop - but locals may be unaware of its right-wing roots. The shop has been operating from Ballards Lane in North Finchley since late last month, bringing clothing heavily associated with European far-right street movements to the UK.

The owner told Channel 4 News that he is not linked to the far right in any way, and promised to have posts on the white power website Stormfront promoting his new shop removed. When contacted Thor Steinar head office said it had "no interest" in commenting on the new shop in the heart of a multicultural London community with a sizeable Jewish population.

The Thor Steinar brand has faced bans in the German Bundestag, in several football stadiums, and members of the far-right German National Democratic (sic) Party have been expelled from parliament for wearing the brand. Its clothes were banned outright in Germany in 2004 because of the logo's similarity to symbols worn by the Nazi SS –but the company has rebranded since then. In March 2012 the label drew global controversy when the company opened a shop called Brevik in Saxony. It was accused of naming the store after far-right mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik.

Anti-Fascists may remember that when Skrewdriver drummer Des Clarke set-up "Blood & Honour" merchandising outlets through the Merc M, Cut Down and Badges shops in Carnaby Street in the late 1980s, not only were these businesses generating substantial cash income for race-hate activism, they also attracted Nazis from all over Europe, leading to a sharp rise in racist harassment and anti-social violence all over London's West End.

Brutal Attack are Nazis?

[Sasha]

ehh yeah, of course they are, their logo is the BUF logo, they are decked out with white power logo's and fists, they always play on blood&honour gigs, all their shit appears on nazi labels.
i have no idea how you could think they werent, they are one of the most openly nazi bands out there after screwdriver and no remorse

[The Jay]

It would be super cool if the store got burned down . . . super cool.

[ArisVelouxiotis]

It would be super cool if the store got burned down . . . super cool.

Let's have faith in London's anti-fascists.

[Brutus]

I'm going to London at the start of July. Might pay a visit.

[Sinister Intents]

It would be super cool if the store got burned down . . . super cool.

Yes! Yes, it would be. If something like that opened up here in WNY I don't know what the reaction would be. The reactionaries probably wouldn't care, and be all like "freedum ov speech!"

Sweet! What're you planning on doing? I'd be too afraid of being attacked by the fash

[Sasha]

lets not talk about what could, should or might happen to this store on the "accident" front, we can all imagine....

I've never listened to them or know anything about them but I see their name pop up on my twitter timeline from time to time. Gonna have to have a look at where it's coming from and block whoever it is is doing it. Cheers for the info

[Slavoj Zizek's Balls]

I did Nazi this coming. Seriously though, I wonder how unwelcome this shop is in the minds of passer-bys. Has anyone been past it recently?

[Brutus]

Sweet! What're you planning on doing? I'd be too afraid of being attacked by the fash

As Sasha said, it'd be outright stupid to mention any plans (not that I have any, and notice that I used "might"). I'm going to borrow a phrase from Lih: konspiratsiia, the fine art of not getting arrested.

[Comrade Jacob]

Let's hope the only people buying these things are ironic people...Then again think where the money will be going to.

[keine_zukunft]

looks like the antifas in london have already started..

[MarcusJuniusBrutus]

I like the idea of fascists wearing easily-identifiable clothing so normal folks can keep an eye on them.

[Lord Testicles]

If you're going to ask questions like that in the future don't be surprised or offended when someone tries calling you out for being a cop.
